This man persuaded and with his leadership built a whole country together to do the impossible. The purpose for this book is actually not to talk about himself and his accomplishments but the valuable lessons that he believes young children should learn. His most important message was "Recognizing the enormous role of culture and moral values in history of civilization, and extracting from it the necessary practical consequences". He sets examples to rise to the level of revolutionary activity and scientific thought necessary to confront and resolve the contradictions of communism that threatens humanity. Through this time,the whole republic of Cuba was under rule from the communist dictator Batista. Che had persuaded the whole country to rebel against Batista's unfair ruling. To think about it, the rebellion's chances of what they had done was slim. All the had were their fists, knifes and with the but, every single soldier had guns. What made this rebellion army so strong was their passion and belief of winning this battle thanks to the motivation from Che Guevara. What Che said was very right. To first recognize the things they might lose and their might be some people killed, but in the end all of this will be for the better. To rise the level of revolutionary activity necessary to confront the bigger forces that what their doing is wrong.

I picked this book up because before reading this book, i knew absolutely nothing about this guy. I wanted to know more because i have seen many posters and people's t-shirts with his face on them. I guessed he had to be really famous or did some revolutionary things to gain all these people's respect and recognition. And now, knowing more, what he had done has possibly changed the world. What would the world be like if Batista was still ruling and other countries had adapted his ruling ideas? And even after 45 years after his death, he is still remembered.

i didn't read the whole. There was too much information and some political terms that i didn't understand. It was a challenge to understand the concept of some of the ideas. But i got the main details about his life and his accomplishments so it was worth reading.

Free flowing minds that have some knowledge for political terms should read this book. It is not hard to get inspired and persuaded from all of Che's beliefs. They are good life lessons and also filled with detail from the events and rebellions he was involved in.
